1 Identification of Migratory Dragonflies Greg Lasley,

2 Challenges Fast-moving May be several species Hard to see markings

3 Main annual migrants in North America: What species migrate? Common Green Darner Black Saddlebags Spot-Winged Glider Wandering Glider Variegated Meadowhawk Not a dragonfly Peter Burke

4 Dragonfly Anatomy Purple Skimmer, Dennis Paulson

5 In North America from southern Canada to Mexico and West Indies Common Green Darner

6 Common Green Darner Large flier Stout green thorax Eyes greenish to bluish to brown Long abdomen blue (male), green (female), violet (immature) Tim Hite, EoL,
